WOW .... is this guy riding a high. Wherever Moon goes he automatically becomes a starter?

Beasley could fit on the court for Miami at small forward or power forward, but coach Erik Spoelstra would prefer to keep him at the four slot.

"Eventually Mike will probably be able to play some minutes at (center) when he fills out in two or three years, and he'll probably be able to play some minutes at the three (small forward)," Spoelstra said. "For the most part, I want to keep him pretty consistent at (power forward)."

I really hope he does well, I'm not going to lie. As much as he wanted to make me stab myself in the eye at times he was a good kid and I definitely hope Miami's happy with him. The only guy who's left Toronto that I hoped would under perform was Vince, and that's only because he left on such a bad note.

It's not really a big deal if Moon is starting over Beasley. The thing for Beasley is that he continues to get minutes and that he continues to get crucial minutes in crucial games. He doesn't have to be the go-to guy or a guy playing a huge chunk of the game, the Heat just need to show that they have faith in him and that he is an important part of the team. It's all about development.

hopefully we use our draft pick this year, let's
not miss out this years Rodney hood
